Bobert is referring to a tape broadcast today on an Arabic radio station in which Osama Bin Laden (Bobert of course doubts it is really him)expresses support for Iraq and urges them to fight the imperialist Americans. He describes himself as being in partnership with Iraq and it is probably this that causes Bobert to become unglued, because it would provide the link so many have been clamoring for. The link between Saddam and Al Queda.

Joe is right in that the message could have been included in one of the multiple threads in existence, but Bobert I think has a point in that if it is a legitimate tape of Osama, it does bring a new dimension to the discussions. In other words, the charge that Saddam is in league with Osama would be proven.
